OUR cRoAKING cASSANDRAS

This appeared in late number of the Arkansaw Dispatch. printed in Prescott:
 According to the Gazette of the 24th inst, Ark ansas is struck by boom thnt IS to bring on its wings the greatest prosperity imaginable. We are bracing np to receive the shock when the tidal wave shall reach this far south. Forewarned is forearmed. We thank the Gazette and other papers for giving this timely notice of this onrushing boom. Without this nOtice we might have been struck amidship and hopelessly dis abled: but now we have squared ourselt to receive the boom and have our left ear open to catch the first faint murmer of the glad some sound that will of course be m advance of the boom at least ten minutes. we ad- monish our farmer friends to look out ana be ready, for in such an hour as ye th'n< not, these booms got up by money sharks to Keep you blinded and under their yoke, cometh. We met a man yesterday, who had been struck by the boom--he was not farmer or laborcr, though-nor was he Il merchant. The boom seems to have had very happy effect upon this gentleman, as 1t wreathed lis face with sm les, and loosed his tongue in praise of the democratic @ admnistr'.- ton. of course all the evils we suffer flow directly out of republican misrule, and bad laws, and all the good things come rom the democratic @ administration. Have any ol these bad jaws been repealed? Do we ma any change in the administration, save m name. Look at the appropriations of the democratic @ congress just closed, compare it with any republican congress, and tell Us how much economy you find. Bat get ready for the boom. and It her boom!
 The editor of the Dispatch was ''the gentleman from Nevada during the late session of the gen. eral assembly. He was conspicu ous for jumping up at brief inter vals and wildly seizlng the Money Power by the throat, and stamp ing monopoly beneath his elephan tine feet. @
 As legislator and editor, the Dis patch man is profoundly impressed that the country is going straight to the devil. Discovering in the Gazette evidences of an npwarc tendency in property of all kinds and of increased activity in busi ness. his distress is boundless His predictions of disaster, woe famine, and a general disruptitica tion of things cannot be verified I people insist on going right ahead improving their property, buyin. land, expanding their business and welcoming strangers anxlon to go right ahead with them. Gu Prescott Cassandra has been to' long prorhesying evil, declarin' that there is no money outside th' vaults guarded by the Sylocks, an' that the sun shines only once month, to surrender without struggle. He has been preachln, the crises, and IS bound to have l move in with it's whole family a all hazards. If a few dollar should be discovered rolling to ward Prescott their presenc would be charged to d conspirac of the Money Power and the Shy locks and Rube CarlLee's 'MonoI ulists," to enslave the people, c whom Cassandra has taken charge and who he is always ready to en courage in any system of want an
 starvation that may be found prac ticable.
 We speak with tears in our eyes but it is our solemn duty to motif our friend the Prescott sympathiz CT with the Chicago anarchist that his cause is lost. The cOun try is not gong to the devil. Al kansas is not going to the devll Only the cranks. the false propf cts, the croaking Cassandras, ar going to the devil; and the sool CT they receive the embrace of hi sOoty majesty the better.-Arkar sas Gazette.
